ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology are developing innovative portable technologies across scales and disciplines with applications in fields such as healthcare, carbon capture, water treatment, environmental monitoring and reef restoration. Sciencetown delves into examples of some these technologies and their benefits in a three-part podcast series. In this first interview, Episode 23, Dana Al-Sulaiman, an assistant professor of material science and engineering, introduces us to portable biosensing devices, and explains why they are a novel way to detect cancer, and help physicians and clinicians choose the most effective treatments for patients.
